Smexy’s Top Ten – November 7th
10. The holidays have arrived. Are we ready? 9. What a cute cover for Julie James's May 2015 release! And as she says on her website: SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER is not part of my FBI/U.S. Attorney series. Neither the heroine nor hero is an FBI agent or Assistant U.S. Attorney, and no part of the plot relates to the FBI or federal prosecutors office. So calling it an FBI/U.S. Attorney book would be, well, weird. But Ford, the hero in SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER, first appeared in Love Continue Reading
Review: Edge of Betrayal by Shannon K. Butcher
Review: Edge of Betrayal (Edge # 4) by Shannon K. Butcher Romantic Suspense Released November 4, 2014 Signet Books Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "You will be here when I come back, won't you?" "Will you kiss me like that again?" she asked. "Twice." "Then hell yeah. I'll be here" The "Edge" is a good name for this series. Throughout this romantic suspense novel, I kept feeling as if I were on the edge of something. The edge of confusion...the edge of Continue Reading

Review: Romancing the Billionaire by Jessica Clare
Romancing the Billionaire by Jessica Clare (Billionaire Boys Club #5) Released: November 4, 2014 Contemporary Romance Intermix Reviewed by Mandi I was disappointed in this one which bums me out because this series has been a lot of fun. The heroine and I did not get along in this book. Her lack of communication with the hero and her wishy-washy self-made me have a frowny face for most of the book. When Violet's famous archaeologist father passes away, he leaves her an envelope with a Continue Reading
May has the Holiday Blues…
The naughty (and I don’t mean in the smexy way) list of holiday fails has been at an all-time high this year. I am not sure if it is a matter of everything having been done before, authors being uninspired, or other factors but this year I’ve yet to actually recommend a holiday read. Today I want to quickly go over some recent “DNF” holiday reads releasing in 2014. On the Naughty List gets a DNF because after reading two F grade novellas I couldn’t be bothered to continue. Lori Foster’s Continue Reading
Review: Caged in Winter by Brighton Walsh
Caged in Winter by Brighton Walsh (Caged in Winter #1) Released: November 4, 2014 New Adult Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Last year I read two adult contemporary romances by Brighton Walsh and really enjoyed them. When I heard she was publishing with Penguin, I got excited. I don't read a ton of new adult, but her previous books were very smartly written so I thought I'd give Caged in Winter a try. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Winter works at a bar that forces her to wear a very Continue Reading

Review: Rocky Mountain Romance by Vivian Arend
Rocky Mountain Romance by Vivian Arend (Six Pack Ranch #7) Contemporary Romance October 21, 2014 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: It took a spectacularly embarrassing break-up to knock Steve Moonshine Coleman off his lazy butt. In the ten months since that night, he’s changed his ways, and now that Melody’s back in town, it’s time for this sweet-talking cowboy to convince her to get back in the saddle with him. A return to her veterinary position in Rocky Mountain Continue Reading
